Chiral resolution and deracemization methods are central to the production of enantiopure substances, which are vital in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science. These techniques address ...

The chirality of enantiomers can be the sole distinguishing factor between beneficial and harmful medications, and between active and non-active enantiomers that may comprise up to half of a product.

Light Publishing Center, Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics And Physics, CAS Researchers have developed a new method for precisely analyzing molecules' chirality. This method, known as ...

Researchers at Kumamoto University have now demonstrated a simple and effective way to control the handedness of an inorganic ...

New research describes how the modulation of the geometry of a helical reactor at a macroscopic level enables controlling the sign of chirality of a process at a nanometric scale, an unprecedented ...

The study of chiral molecules – entities that exist in non-superimposable mirror images – has profound implications across a range of scientific disciplines, from synthetic chemistry to ...

In trying to produce artificial chirality in the lab, chemists have found that the distribution of a magnetic field is itself chiral. Some molecules exist in two forms such that their structures and ...

A way to electrically modify the chirality of organic–inorganic hybrid materials, in which chiral molecules adsorb onto inorganic surfaces, has been demonstrated by researchers at Science Tokyo. By ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Chirality is a property of objects that exist in different forms that are mirror images of each other but cannot be superimposed, like left hand and right hand. It is a common ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Noble metal nanoparticles like gold and silver have been extensively studied for their optical, electronic, and catalytic properties, which can be finely tuned by controlling ...
